The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Jiang Qiyan couldn't understand how a capital-oriented country like the United States operates its arms procurement mechanism. -"high speed

Using the common sense that American soldiers must know, the weapons they use are made by the contractor with the lowest bid. People who believe that weapons are completely reliable will often die miserably.

This has been very verified in the US Air Force.The unreliable 20mm cannon is an American imitation of Oerlikon.But compared to the original version, the quality is poor. From the successful copying to the present, more than 1 doors have been accumulated. If it is not really impossible to deal with the thick armor of Chinese fighters, they will not forcefully install it instead of durable , 127mm heavy machine gun with reliable performance.

Of course, it is not a complete replacement. So far, the U.S. military does not have a main fighter that uses all 20mm cannons. Instead, it adopts a mixed method with heavy machine guns, taking into account the load capacity and firepower density.

The idea is very good, but the actual effect is quite painful. Once the cannon half-buried in the wing is fired, the stability caused by the recoil will be seriously damaged. Don’t think about the accuracy at all. It’s normal to miss. It's a blind cat hitting a dead mouse! [

U.S. military pilots criticized this number, but what they say doesn't count, and you can use whatever weapon is given to you. How can there be so many complaints!

In contrast, the Japanese are much smarter.They directly detained the Oerlikon engineers and asked them to directly supervise the production and imitation until the product came out, and even made a few modifications. Although the gun was short, the rate of fire was improved. Much better than the American ones!

The entire battlefield is such a chaotic and weird scene.

The most nimble and powerful Japanese fighter planes can give full play to their maneuverability and brave close combat, but the firepower density is too low and the lethality is not enough.

American fighter planes are not fast enough, and their maneuverability is slightly poor, but they have rough skin and thick flesh. They adopt the tactics of diving and strafing, escaping and then coming back. ;The machine gun... well, it looks very intimidating.

At least four or five types of fighter planes were mixed together and jointly attacked the two main types of the Chinese Air Force, hitting dark clouds in the sky everywhere, explosions filled the air, and hundreds of buzzing sounds entangled together, like thunder before the arrival of a tropical storm Concentrated explosion, breathtaking!

In such a chaotic scene, the jet-type "Flying Dragon" fighters behind the formation can't get in. Besides, this place is too close to the mainland. If you give way, the opponent can rush over. Although the huge air defense mechanism can be activated, But that would be too laborious and costly. Even if Boss Zhu is rich and powerful, he can't afford it.

The crazy Japanese and U.S. Air Force used group attack and suicide entanglement tactics to hook the defensive aircraft group, and the two aircraft groups that were blocked by the ultra-low altitude breakthrough rushed to the offshore of the peninsula in a blink of an eye!

In the distance, the looming islands on the sea level are gradually becoming clear, and the distance is rapidly getting closer under the frenzied pounce of the fighter planes at full speed!

On Liugong Island, the super electromagnetic guns are still firing in an orderly and stable manner. Each shot has been carefully calculated and tuned. When firing, a large amount of smoke generated by the deflagration of liquid medicine is ejected from the muzzle, and the whole island is like a crater. The cloud of smoke billowed.

The sonic boom produced when the cannon is discharged at high speed, the impact on the surrounding air is so intense that it is no different from the explosion of a cannon.If someone dares to expose it to the outside, it can directly shatter the internal organs, then it's no joke!

Such a big movement is so conspicuous, even the Japanese and American fighter planes climbing up from the low altitude can clearly see it. The leading captain who had not expressed much hope could not help but cheered: "Hey! I found China! Heavy fort! Get rid of him!"

Take the lead in swinging the wings to send a signal, and rush straight over with full power!

Behind him, dozens of fighter planes of various colors followed suit, speeding up all the way to keep up!Their original task was to find out the location of the enemy's fort and destroy it if possible --- the fleet was not sure whether they could achieve their goal, so they could only do their best.Now it seems that there is hope!

The fastest f4u engine screamed and pulled out a beautiful arc, accelerating downward from a height of more than 2000 meters, and suddenly approaching a distance of more than ten kilometers, the goal became clearer and clearer!

Liugong Island, in the embrace of Weihai Bay, has both east and north directions. The fort has a wide field of vision and a dangerous geographical location, which is common knowledge in all countries.Similarly, there will never be no defense here, and there is no hope for the advancing fighters, they can attack smoothly!

Sure enough, just after breaking through within [-] kilometers, a dense swarm of rockets sprang out from the mountain on the Rongcheng line, blocking the low-altitude front road and swarming and exploding, forming a vast air-killing interception---a shore-based "Iron Curtain" Intercept the system!

The four fighters that were charging ahead were smashed into pieces and scattered all over the place. The rest of the fighters had been on guard for a long time, and the distance between each other was wide enough, so they dodged calmly and continued to rush forward. It suddenly struck, and it was shore-based anti-aircraft guns firing!

Swarms of anti-aircraft guns, using electric wires to detonate fuzes, and volleys across the battlefield are similar to pieces of knives and axes chopped down from the middle. The explosion fragments smashed five or six fighters across the parallel land in an instant, and the explosion formed The dense pyrotechnic belt is pulled out in the air and is several kilometers long, which is spectacular! [

The remaining fighters are still charging!Their number is still large enough to kill a piece of ground targets!

In the underground command post of the Fort on Liugong Island, the colonel looked calm and slightly nervous. Looking at the bright spot of the rapid approach, he raised his hand and pressed the start switch of the joint air defense weapon system.

Around the main turret that stands up like a building, on several small hills, six strange turrets that are one size smaller but similar in appearance quickly rise up. The structure is completely different from conventional cannons. The Vientiane axis was rotated and adjusted, and it locked on to the [-]-meter skyline in just a few seconds, and then a series of "bang bang" sound booms sounded one after another, and slender arcs of light flashed away!

It is a small electromagnetic gun that is dozens of times smaller in size, but has a completely different structure!

Completely abandoning the method of chemical energy providing the initial velocity, the launch channel is composed of two linear guide rails wrapped in superconducting coils, and the slender cannon is launched at a high speed with the help of an ultra-high electric field, which is much faster than gunpowder launch!

Because of the possibility that the high-strength alloy head may wear the slide rail, it is not suitable to use too heavy cannon for the time being, and use a small needle shape that is not much thicker than a pen and chopsticks as the main means of killing.However, its firing speed is much faster than that of a super cannon!Even if it can't keep up with the machine gun, it's no problem at all to shoot once a second!

The instantaneous power consumption of six small electromagnetic cannons can’t match that of a cannon. The needle-shaped cannons fired out can easily reach more than six times the speed of sound. hair!

The six fighter planes that were swooping down suddenly disintegrated in the air for no reason. They couldn't see the explosion, and they didn't know where the killer came from, so they died unexpectedly!

Flying at high speed, the friction between itself and the air generates extremely high temperature. The shock parachute formed on the pointed end collides with the hard target, which is not as simple as passing through it!The slender body disintegrates and shatters under the stress, thus forming a point-to-surface damage. A guy hitting it is almost less than a 75mm anti-aircraft gun hitting it!

Such a scene made the fighter planes following up and attacking feel very horrified. The invisible enemy is the most terrifying!They were mentally prepared for the conventional artillery fire on the ground, and even the high-speed fighter planes that suddenly came to intercept them, but they blew themselves up suddenly. What kind of situation is this? !

This question, no one will answer them!

The Fort of Liugong Island is a comprehensive electromagnetic weapon testing site, and there are many good things hidden on it. Unfortunately, they acted as targets for delivery!

How many propeller planes can there be?It will die after diving for only about 200 kilometers. The speed of 1700 meters per second is the limit of the design.The slender cannon that can be fired is at least five times the speed of sound at [-] meters per second!What's more, the ones made on the island are even taller!

Locking means not running!

Not only the six small electromagnetic guns intercepted, but also the air defense forces stationed by the North Sea Fleet on the nearby islands, as well as the destroyers moored in the bay and cruising the nearby water surface, etc., also joined in the interception!

Not only 76mm anti-aircraft guns, but also 127mm high-level and flat-purpose guns, and the ship-borne "Iron Curtain" rocket interception system, roaring and booming, forming a big hand that can block the sky and shoot them horizontally. The fighter plane was smashed and injured, and crashed crookedly!

The two fleets that broke through with great difficulty killed more than half of them in the blink of an eye, and there were less than twenty planes left!

In this way, they refused to give up!Especially among the pilots, most of them were red-eyed Japanese soldiers. Before each departure, they were prepared to die and exchanged their own sacrifices for their families to get good arrangements. Compared with those colleagues who died in the war before, they were regarded as The sacrifice was worth it.

People like this don't care about life or death, they drive the fighter plane with their eyes wide open, and squeeze the performance potential of the fighter plane with actions that exceed the requirements of the operation manual. , twirling in a circle and rushing in, leaving behind a series of fireworks that were destroyed and blown up along the way, finally, five of them rushed to a distance of 1000 meters!

During the high-speed flyby, Liu Gongdao seems to be zoomed in and out, and the real face is suddenly shown in the eyes of the pilot!

The small island, with scattered and sparse vegetation, is completely covered by a huge turret standing in the middle, towering like a tall building, and a giant electromagnetic tower that shone with lightning and radiated mysterious power!

The giant cannon sat on a pedestal at least the size of a stadium, with a full 50-meter-long barrel underneath, and even a huge hydraulic arm for auxiliary support!The pilots, who are used to seeing battleship cannons, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, because from the looks of them, the thickness of the cannon barrel was exactly like a building sandwiched across the top of a circular base! [

"No wonder it can hit so far, with such a big gun body..."

The Japanese pilots who have always admired the giant ship cannons don't know how to describe it.In his opinion, such a big gun should at least weigh as much as a destroyer, right?No, maybe even bigger than a cruiser!Judging by the momentum of the launch, it can directly blow a smaller ship into the air!

Of course they don't know that the core is still just a 280mm barrel, the extended part, and the thick shape are the skeleton and protective layer of the superconducting electromagnetic reconnection coil. Most of the inside is empty, and the weight is even Can't keep up with a 406mm naval gun.

The Japanese don't know the truth!In their senses, such a big guy fits the terrifying power that can hit two hundred kilometers away and destroy a heavy cruiser with one shot.

It's it!

The rest of the plane screamed, pulled the trigger and fired, and slammed into it!It is difficult to hit and destroy the machine guns and small cannons that come with them. The only way is to use their "Kamikaze Special Attack" spirit and make a brave suicide attack!

In the command room of the fort, the colonel cursed and said: "You little devil, you will do this! Want to die with me? There is no way!"

At the same time, the six small turrets suddenly turned around, whizzing out cannons ten times thicker!

These cannon feet are as thick as an arm, and one meter long, but their muzzle velocity can barely exceed three times the speed of sound---the mass has increased too much.

The moment the flashing cannon is fired, it disintegrates into several fragments, and suddenly expands the cover forward in the shape of an umbrella, just like firing a super-sized shotgun, creating a super-large fan-shaped surface!

The arm-thick head was shattered as thin as sand, and there were at least tens of thousands of fragments. The six turrets fired together, and suddenly formed an airtight fragmentation giant over the island!

There were five enemy planes that could hide, and they were shot at least hundreds of heads on the spot, smashed into a sieve, the engine smoked and burst into flames, and the fuselage was full of holes. They suddenly lost control and fell down somersaults!

Seeing that the wreckage was about to hit the island, the huge gun barrel fired again!

"Buzz!" There was a dull loud noise that seemed to come from the depths of the earth, and the diffuse smoke cloud was violently pushed away again. The air within a radius of 300 meters around the muzzle was suddenly squeezed to form a sonic boom, and the falling wreckage seemed to be crushed. Xing's big hand flew away, and fell into the sea water or some irrelevant place.

In the air battle group in the distance, the large group of enemy planes that were entangled saw that the target had been achieved, and before they could see whether the bombing was successful, they hurriedly withdrew!

The U.S. fighter planes that flew in batches joined the battle group without hesitation, entangled the strength of the Third Air Division, covered the retreat of other carrier-based aircraft, and escorted the fleet to break through at high speed.

On the flagship, Fletcher also obtained an aerial reconnaissance report, and even a brief description. His face was so dark that he didn't look like a Caucasian.

"A huge turret like a skyscraper! Hehe, it's really scary!"

He shook the message and couldn't believe it.In the world, it is impossible for someone to create such a large cannon, that is already the limit of mechanical engineering, beyond the reach of human power!At best, there is a cannon with a longer barrel over there, maybe two cannon barrels are connected.

The barrel of a battleship represents the limit of a country's steel industry processing capacity. In terms of weight, length, and precision, it is a manifestation of comprehensive industrial capabilities.With such a powerful industry in the United States, at present, it can only manufacture super cannons with 50 times the barrel. No matter how long or thick it is, it is a bit unreliable. The key is, how much hull do you have to carry it!

Fletcher is a veteran soldier and doesn't believe in nonsense, but he has to admit that the opponent's mysterious cannon is really scary!

In just ten minutes, three more ships were sunk!At most, one ship will be finished after two shots, not even a heavy cruiser!

This is also thanks to the fact that he ordered all the warships to maneuver and change direction according to the rules of speed, and did not give the opponent a chance to aim or predict shooting in advance, otherwise, the casualties would only be great!

Speaking of it, it's incredible!Ultra-long-range bombardment has always relied on volleys, and the probability of hitting is determined by the number. It is often good to hit a few rounds with hundreds of cannons, but the opponent has a cannon with a hit rate of more than [-]%. How do you do it? ? !

This is a mystery that all the navies of the great powers want to solve!It's a pity that they tried all kinds of means to bribe and woo in order to obtain relevant information, but they got nothing.The only thing I know is that in battle, the Chinese navy can temporarily command the ships and artillery of the entire fleet to complete unified target aiming and salvo control.

Very incredible!The U.S. Navy has only realized real-time communication between warships so far. It has turned each warship into a telecommunications group and transformed it into several main warships that are interconnected and commanded in a unified way. Multiple ships and multiple turrets can disperse attack targets together, and finally achieve unity. The impact effect... sounds amazing!

Very frustrating ability!

Fletcher had no other choice, who let him do it?The other party obviously didn't want him to enter the northern part of the Yellow Sea smoothly, but he didn't try his best to stop him. Why did he feel more and more that something was wrong?

Hundreds of ships of various kinds formed a relatively tight formation, elongated the serpentine front while making difficult high-speed maneuvers, risking capsizing and running aground, approaching the coastline of the Korean peninsula and rushing forward crazily!

The electromagnetic battery on Liugong Island bombarded methodically for a full two hours before giving up. Along the way, nearly twenty enemy ships of various sizes were left behind and sank into the bottom of the sea with billowing smoke.

The main force of Fletcher's mixed fleet finally rushed through the narrow sea area and rushed into the northern sea area.

In just two hours, the price paid was huge!Not to mention three Japanese heavy cruisers and five light cruisers, a dozen destroyers, even the US capital ship, two battleships were shot up by each!The partly thickened main armor belt can't withstand the terrible kinetic energy blow, and the hole it pierces is shocking!

Fletcher's heart was covered with a lingering shadow.This trip, he most likely came by mistake!

In the northern waters, the main force of the North Sea Fleet is quietly shrinking, leaving a few firepower attack ships to continue to wreak havoc. Their two battleships, plus two Kunlun-class heavy cruisers and guided cruisers have turned their heads. Looking at the deep water area on the side of Bohai Bay, draw a big arc and outflank it.

Fleet commander Xie Gangzhe looked at the messy formation of enemy ships on the satellite photos, and sneered: "Come on! Let's turn the Yellow Sea into a steel grave for the Japanese and American navies!" rs! .go
